Finale
Ty Dolla $ign Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You think I smoke too much
I think you think too much
You're always in a rush
You don't make time for us
These bitches in the way
You don't have to stay
You don't have to stay
You can run and fade away
You don't have to stay
You can go and play
You don't want to stay
You can go and fade away
Just start it up, will you start it up
Start it up girl, give it to me
Oh baby
Let's go, high
Get started, get started, get started baby
We gotta get started, we gotta get started now
We got started and shit, you know
If you wasn't even big as shit at the time, you know
It's cool, though (Yeah)
Yeah, you know long after the game you know
Been doin' it for a second
Same shit kinda get faded and shit
(Can I say Sa-Ra?)
In “Finale” by Ty Dolla $ign, Sa-Ra and PJ, the lyrics focus on a rocky relationship. The opening lines address a conflict between the two parties; she questions what he is smoking, and he retorts that she thinks too much. The line “you don’t make time for us” highlights the strain on the relationship, with no quality time being spent together. The phrase “these bitches in the way” hints at trust issues, indicating external factors could be causing the problem.
The chorus follows, in which she tells him that he doesn’t have to stay, and can run and fade away, essentially letting him know that he has a way out of the relationship. The phrase “you don’t want to stay” highlights the apathy and lack of commitment that he may have towards the relationship.
The final stanza is a combination of perspectives. The repetition of “get started” highlights the desire to move forward with the relationship; whether it is someone new or the current partner remains unclear. The reference to the person being “big as shit at the time” indicates that they have been together for a while, and have perhaps reached a plateau in terms of their development as a couple. The reference to the “game” could relate to the music industry or life in general, with the mention of being “faded and shit” potentially alluding to the struggles of balancing a demanding job with a relationship.
